Explanation of how to find the answer: He was talking about 'apt' commands. If you read 'man apt' it hints that it is a front-end to various 'apt-*' commands like 'apt-get'. The hints look like "apt-get(8)" which is a reference to the 'apt-get' man page in Section 8, which can be read using the command: man 8 apt-get And if you read that man page, you can find an explanation of the -s option when used with a 'apt-get' command.
